Who am I?
I'm a writer/ standup comedian living in Sligo, northwest Ireland. I create and record stories, mostly solo but I join up with other voice actors/ writers/ comedians whenever chance will have it. The stories and storytelling are unique -one listener said the recordings always put a smile on their face, which is the aim of the game here. The subject is simply something that I find fascinating about us humans -the ability to create and inhabit fantastical worlds ...plus for the most part the podcasts are just good craic (fun and games).
